I have a few shots from today’s Neptune Festival Contest, nothing spectacular. I had some things I needed to take care of  prior and had to leave early to go to work for a few hours. I’ll post the pics as soon as possible.

I’ve also decided that I’m going to stay in Va Beach on Sunday and skip the Volcom contest in KDH. I believe I owe it to my VB neighbors to shoot some of the locals for a change. So look for me on the beach all day on Sunday.

 see ya,

If you have kids, you’ve got to go to this show it was nothing short of amazing, the younger ones will love seeing the Dinosaurs, and the older ones may actually learn a thing or two about our planet’s history from the narration. 

I tried to take photos last night and have created a small gallery of the images. I didn’t have much time to edit these and some may be a little dark (I’ll try and fix them later).  Click on any of the images below to view the gallery and below that are links to the show’s website and the image below that is a link to the Ticketmaster Purchase page.

So I went to the zoo today… got there kinda late, place was literally a zoo, like 1st street when there’s surf. Wasn’t the best lighting and I didn’t bring my flash so no Bald Eagle shots…coulda used it for the Tigers too, oh well , maybe next time.

I’m going to see Walking with Dinosaurs on Wednesday night at the Scope, hopefully I’ll be able to get my camera in there for some photos. If you have kids you’ll definately want to check this show out.  Go on Youtube.com and search for ”Walking with Dinosaurs” …stay tuned for more info on this one.

Ok, so I drove down to the Outer Banks on Saturday. Hoping to shoot the Volcom contest, then Head down to the Lighthouse for the first day of the ESA Easterns.  I figured it was a bust when I pulled up at 1st street and Ryan Kingsbury was the only person there.  Actually there was on other guy who was just leaving.  Surf sucked, Contest was a wash.  I met up with John Barnes down in Nags head where there was a little wave, but nothing spectacular so I headed down to Hatteras. Seeing no cars lining the road anywhere, I figured I was S.O.L. , until I pulled into Rodanthe with cars lining the side of the road. I was more than a little suspect that this spot could be that much better than anywhere else. After watching it for a while I decided to shoot some photos.  Nothing spectacular, it was probably nothing more than stomach high with the occasional bigger set wave.  I shot for a while then headed back to Nags head to get some food and hang out.

I’ll have the photos from the 22nd posted sometime tonight, I’m not even going to bother heading to the Lighthouse this morning, I’m  just going to go back to VB and get some stuff done, including getting the rental house booked for Hawaii!!!

In the meantime, here’s a shot of the Wright (no relation) Brothers Memorial yesterday afternoon.

Guess who’ll be shooting the Admirals Games this season? That’s right… so make sure you come on out and support the 2007/2008 Admirals! Soon I’ll be adding a link to the Admirals schedule and Ticket Purchase page and hopefully have some surprises for some lucky WrightCoastSurf.com visitors. 

So you all have just over 1 month til the season opener, it’s about time to watch those Slapshot, Miracle and Mystery Alaska DVD’s and get into Hockey Mode. What else are you going to do when it starts getting dark at 6:00 every night!   Visit the Admirals site by clicking the banner below.

Arrived a little late, but stuck around for the entire day…I even have some photos of the girls and the spongers!  Too bad this storm is going to suck, so I’m heading back to VB in the morning.
